Skinner16 - Craig Biggio 1999 Astros Home Jersey

[eGameUsed]

Skinner16,

If you have the chance, I would like you and Craig's thoughts on this piece. As you might already know, Craig did not wear the typical Russell jerseys used by the rest of the Astros from 1995 to 1999 on the Home White and Road Grey. He did wear Russell for the Navy Alternate jerseys. I am seeking some advice. Astros jersey collector's know that Victory Biggio and Bagwell jerseys are by far the rarest of the jerseys as they were ordered by Jeff and Craig and generally not released. Let me know what you think! This particular example shows significant use with loose threads, pine tar stains on both pictures (I tried to picture these), and significant piling under the arms and around the neckline. Notice there is no Russell emblem on the sleeves.

Here are some pics I have showing the missing emlbem on the right sleeve. Note the first picture is of Ricky Gutierrez in 1997 (Road style) with the "R" emblem visible on the right sleeve. The other pictures show Biggio without the "R" emblem.
